Whenever he stops, wherever he brings me, you know I try to carry the message of recovery, and this is one of the best, you know, this is fun.
Imagine working in an automotive plant, taking short breaks to jot down thoughts and images of addiction and recovery. That's how Bob L. started writing 'Visions', a 90-minute play that has since touched the lives of 30,000 people. In this heartfelt episode of 'Spirit of Recovery', hosts Rev. Dan Beckett and Rev. Michelle Vargas sit down with Bob L. and cast member Mike S. to discuss the journey from scribbled notes to an award-winning production.
Bob shares how his own recovery journey inspired him to create 'Visions'. What began as a personal project during work breaks evolved into a powerful play with a volunteer cast and crew, operating on a shoestring budget. Despite the financial constraints, 'Visions' has won numerous awards and continues to spread a message of hope and recovery. The conversation delves into the challenges and triumphs of bringing 'Visions' to life.
Bob and Mike reflect on the emotional impact the play has had on audiences and themselves. They discuss the unique power of using creative arts to convey the struggles and victories of addiction recovery. As Bob puts it, 'Whenever he stops, wherever he brings me, you know I try to carry the message of recovery, and this is one of the best, you know, this is fun'.
If you're curious about how art can transform lives and spread hope, this episode is a must-listen. It's a testament to the power of creativity in recovery and the incredible impact one person’s vision can have on so many.
